And another thing is, yes the rx8 is slightly slowest than a mps3 in a straight line, but since it's not actually a drag car who really cares? It whoops it by seconds around tracks with a same driver. And that's stock, add a supercharger/turbo so both are same aspirated.. Well that's a different story
You obviously have no clue what a gearbox does..
If this thing revs to let's say 8500 you cat compare it to a car that revs to let's say 6.. Yet they will both have top speed of around 100km/h in 2nd..
And mate this isn't a 350 big block revving to 5000 redline throug a 4speed top loader 6 speed gearbox and a high redline = awesome fun (again il compare a rotary to this, iv never had problems accelerating.) |
The whole world isn't America....but this IS America. RX8 I doubt would whoop an MS3 around a race track as well, unless it was modded or it was a course full of multiple turns and limited straights.
If I want the II to be like another high rev'er, then I hope it's like S2kish rather than RX8ish.
RX8 doesn't impress me even on boost. Swap the RX7 rotary in there, then you have done it right.
And don't bring Big Blocks into this, no one is talking about American V8 torque here. American cars aren't the only ones that can make "satisfactory" torque numbers.
I'm going to boost the SOB anyway though so...meh...moot points. More power and torque + high rev is not a bad thing.
